Commodore 128 And IBM
Compatibility
S.O.G.W.A.P. Software has introduced The
Big Blue Reader, a software program that lets users transfer
word processing and ASCII files generated on most IBMcompatible
software to Commodore 128 DOS files, and vice versa.
Release 1.0 of The
Big Blue Reader is priced at $29.95, plus $2 for shipping and
handling (California residents add $1.95). The Big Blue Reader is selfbooting.
A full menu appears on the 80-column screen, while on the 40-column
screen the program offers a main menu and submenus. Prompts take the
user through the copying process, whether going from Commodore to IBM
or IBM to Commodore.The Big Blue Reader
also offers the user the option of translating MS-DOS standard ASCII
characters to Commodore ASCII characters-and vice versa-solving the
problem of reversed capitals and lowercase letters.S.O.G.W.A.P.
